Chapter 18: The Blind
The blind man stretched out his hand and put his hand on Xu Feng's arm, and followed Xu Feng two more steps forward.
"There's a stool on your left, sit down."
"No, I'll just stand."
"It's okay, let's sit down and rest. Ah Meng, pour tea. ”
Xu Feng greeted again and sat down on another stool opposite.
The blind man, whose eyes were wrapped in gauze and had a blind cane in his hand, hesitated,
I gently probed with the blind cane at hand, and then groped, and sat down carefully on my side.
"Thank you...... No need to pour tea. I just wanted to ask for directions. ”
The blind man hurriedly waved his hand again.
Ah Meng had already gone into the back kitchen to carry the teapot.
"Sir, lost?"
Xu Feng just asked along the second half of the blind man's sentence.
"Hmm...... I was supposed to go downstairs at night to buy something...... At night, the streets are less crowded and quieter. It's easier for me to walk.
But when I walked on the road, the road was familiar at the beginning, and then I couldn't touch anything familiar.
Probably I was a little panicked. I walked a little further along the road, but I still couldn't touch something familiar, and I couldn't go back to the familiar road after walking for a long time. ”
The blind man listened to Xu Feng's question, half-sat on the stool, followed the voice to the side, and hurriedly responded,
"I don't know where the road was newly built, or if something has changed, and at what intersection I forked the road."
"I walked like this for a long time, there were no community shops on the side of the road, and there were no passers-by, until I walked to the boss of your inn, I touched about a building, touched an open door, thought that there should be someone here, and wanted to ask for directions."
"Boss, where is this?"
"What do you call him?"
"Luo Zhiming, my name is Luo Zhiming, just call me by my name directly."
Luo Zhiming responded, still tilting his head sideways, waiting for Xu Feng's answer.
"Hmm. Where does Mr. Luo live? ”
"Over there in the south of the city, Yuan'an Community. Where is this, I've been walking for so long, haven't I been in another district? ”
"Well, it's a little far."
Xu Feng looked at Luo Zhiming, whose eyes were covered with gauze, and responded.
"Hmm...... After walking for so long, I said it was time to go far. ”
“…… So be it. Does Mr. Luo have someone to contact here? I'll put you in touch or call a taxi for you. With such a long journey, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to walk back. ”
"Okay, thank you...... I should have called my friend a long time ago. I just don't know when, I don't know where I lost my phone. It may be that when I stumbled before, I got up again, only caring about the pain, and I forgot to touch the phone and it was still there. ”
Luo Zhiming first thanked him, then said his words, and sighed slightly.
"Hmm."
Xu Feng answered and did not speak.
Turning his head, he glanced at Ah Meng, who had come out of the back kitchen.
Ah Meng held two teacups and carried a pot of hot tea.
"It's cold at night, Mr. Luo should take a sip of hot tea first."
In front of Xu Feng and the guest, Ah Meng poured a cup of tea mixed with petals and leaves on the other side, and stood quietly beside Xu Feng again.
Xu Feng spoke out again to the guest.
"Thank you......"
Luo Zhiming hurriedly thanked him, stretched out his hand full of calloused scars, and carefully touched the table in front of him a few times.
I just touched the teacup, and when I picked it up, I almost spilled it a little.
“…… Boss, I'll tell you my friend's phone number, please call one for me. ”
Luo Zhiming said again.
"Hmm."
"The number is ......"
Xu Feng answered again, and Luo Zhiming hurriedly said a phone number.
"I remember the number."
"Thank you."
Listening to Xu Feng's words, Luo Zhiming breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Feng took a sip of the tea in the teacup in front of him, paused, and then looked at Luo Zhiming's eyes wrapped in gauze.
"What is the gauze on Mr. Luo's eyes?"
"Oh, haven't I been invisible since I was a child? When he was young, he was a little blind, and when he was young, he was blind. Originally, when he was older, he might be called an old blind man. ”
Luo Zhiming smiled and made a joke of his own,
"But isn't that the policy of the state? It just so happened that the hospital I had been to before contacted me and said that I had the opportunity to have surgery, and the state had covered most of the cost. So I went for surgery. ”
"But after the operation, it will take some time to remove the gauze, calculate the time, the day after tomorrow, I should go to the hospital to remove the gauze...... After dismantling it, I will be able to see what the world is really like. ”
Although Luo Zhiming said these words with a smile on his face, his hands were unconsciously clenched, and he could still see that he was a little nervous about this matter.
"Look at what the city is like, what kind of lights are green, look at the mountains, look at the rivers, look at our great rivers and mountains."
As he spoke, Luo Zhiming gradually lowered his voice, with some expectation and longing.
"Gauze the day after tomorrow?"
Xu Feng looked at Luo Zhiming, who was smiling and looking forward to his future life, and asked again.
"Yes, the gauze will be removed the day after tomorrow, to be exact, just one day. Today is over, tomorrow day, the day after tomorrow I will go to the hospital. ”
Luo Zhiming still had a smile on his face.
Xu Feng held the teacup, paused, was a little silent, and glanced at Luo Zhiming again.
“…… What's wrong? ”
It was probably the silence in the inn that made Luo Zhiming a little puzzled and asked in a low voice.
"It's fine."
Picking up the teacup, Xu Feng continued to take a sip of tea before shaking his head and saying,
"Since I've had surgery, why don't I stay in the hospital for a while?"
"Hey, let's have a serious illness, it's not so serious that I have to be hospitalized all the time, especially after the operation, it takes almost half a month to remove the gauze. You can't stay in the hospital all the time. ”
"Although the state bears most of the expenses for us, the state's money can't be used indiscriminately, right, I save a little here, maybe it will be used on others. Moreover, people always have to live, and I have been staying in this hospital all the time, and I have no income.
So I talked to the doctor and was discharged. Pay attention on weekdays, wait for the gauze to be removed, and then go to him. ”
Luo Zhiming still said with a smile.
"Hmm...... Do you want to go out at night to buy some groceries? ”
Xu Feng asked again following Luo Zhiming's words.
Judging from what Luo Zhiming said, and his current appearance, Xu Feng almost knew what this guest's obsession was.
But I still want to learn more information from Luo Zhiming here.
“…… Well, yes, take advantage of the low crowds at night. Although I was covered with gauze, the doctor also made me rarely see bright light, and it was just right at night, so I went to the supermarket at night to buy some food, paper, or something.
But it's not just about buying these things. I just want to go to the cinema again, not far from where I live, there's a mall, and there's a cinema above the mall. ”
"I've heard people say that movies are good and good, and I've been there once, but for me, it's like a big radio, and I can only listen to it."
"It's not like the gauze is going to be removed the day after tomorrow, I want to wait for the gauze to be removed, and then I will go to a movie. I was supposed to go and buy a movie ticket at that time. But when I think about it when I walk on the road at night, I can't help it.
I just want to go and buy the movie tickets first. ”
With anticipation and a smile on his face, Luo Zhiming responded,
"But if you get lost now, you may have to go directly then."
Although tonight's encounter made Luo Zhiming a little flustered and uncomfortable, he could see the joy of the world the day after tomorrow, which was enough to dilute all the other things he felt uncomfortable and bored during this time.
"Hey...... Speaking of which, I don't even know what's going on in the cinema lately, whether it's good or not. ”
Luo Zhiming always had a smile on his face, and it didn't really matter what the movie would be like at that time.
I believe that even the most dull and boring plot will make him spend it in joy and relaxation.
"I don't know."
Xu Feng answered, and then stood up again,
"Mr. Luo, then I'll call your friend, please wait a while, let's leave."
"Okay, okay...... Okay, thanks. ”
Luo Zhiming hurriedly thanked him and stood up.
"Mr. Luo, sit down, let's go and go back."
"Good...... Good ......"
Luo Zhiming responded, and then groped to sit down again, but he didn't sit down, but still tilted his head sideways in the direction where Xu Feng and the others left.
Xu Feng glanced at the guest of the inn again, and walked towards the back door of the inn with Ah Meng.
This guest has been blind for half his life, and in a few days, he will be able to see the world again.
There is too much hope and expectation placed on this matter.
And now, at this moment, he has appeared at the Lethe Inn, and all expectations have been shattered.
All hope was lost.
What the obsession is is already obvious.
……
“…… Dr. Hu, the driver was in a coma with multiple fractures on his body...... The injured person who was hit may no longer be able to do so. ”
"Well, I know. Come over here and give a hand. Let's go back to the hospital first...... Let's see if there's a chance...... At such a young age, I look at him as if he has just had surgery on his eyes......"
At the intersection, when the traffic police and the doctor worked together to push the van that hit the light pole away.
The injured person who was hit by the van on the street light pole and the front of the car gradually slipped off the light pole.
was hurriedly supported by the doctor next to him and put on a stretcher.
However, the depression in the back and chest of the injured person has not been restored.
After checking the vital signs of the person who was injured in the collision, the emergency doctor sighed and carried the injured person and the other driver into the ambulance.
Xu Feng and Ah Meng appeared about one or two hundred meters away from the place where the accident occurred, and their avatars were probably two passers-by.
When they appeared, they saw the ambulance taking the last injured person to the ambulance.
Finally, before the emergency doctor got into the car, he saw a broken mobile phone on the ground next to him, probably the injured person.
"Xiao Chen, your injured person's mobile phone contacts the injured person's relative, let me come to the hospital quickly."
"Okay."
Finally, the emergency doctor got into the car.
The ambulance followed and sounded the alarm and sped away,
The traffic police stayed and asked the policeman about the situation.
"Hello, comrade, it's you who reported to the police, right, I'm a traffic police officer ...... Chengnan Road"
After a series of standard procedures, the traffic police began to inquire about the situation of the person who called the police.
"Did you see how the accident happened?"
"No, by the time I heard the voice, the man had already hit the lamppole. I immediately called the police. ”
"On this big night, there were no two people on the road, and that person was hit like that again, I didn't dare to come, and I didn't know what to do, so you came, and I just came."
"Well, okay, I know the situation. Still thank you for calling us and the emergency in a timely manner. ”
"It's alright...... Well, comrade, I've had a lot of accidents here lately. Is there some inevitable coincidence? Honestly, weird. I'm going to have a shop over there, and if I do this, I won't dare to stay at night. ”
After the policeman finished speaking, he couldn't help but lower his voice and asked the traffic policeman.
"Ahem...... Comrade, we're recording it here. ”
"Oooh......"
"Comrade, do you have anything else to say?"
"Nope."
"That's fine."
“…… Actually, I don't know what's going on. Next time you encounter it, please call the police in time if you are in trouble. ”
"Okay, OK ......"
The accident car was eventually towed away.
The traffic police also left, and the policeman shuddered and quickly slipped away.
However, before leaving, they all glanced at Xu Feng and Ah Meng.
Because the two of them have been standing there since just now.
But I didn't care about it, I just thought that Xu Feng and Ah Meng were watching the excitement.
That is, late at night, otherwise such an accident, let alone a group of people on the side of the road.
……
“…… Aman. ”
Xu Feng first glanced at the intersection at the scene of the accident, and then looked at the convenience store that was still open on the side of the road with some frowns.
"I feel something familiar."
"Well, it's the desert cat."
Ah Meng listened to Xu Feng's words, turned his head, looked towards the shop, and nodded in response.
When Xu Feng and Ah Meng turned their eyes,
The owner of the convenience store seemed to be startled by the desert cat, and the desert cat was startled by the boss first.
Immediately after, he seemed to feel Xu Feng and Ah Meng's gaze, and shrank into a corner.
"It's a coincidence."
Although the desert cat was hiding, Xu Feng still knew where it was.
"Do you want to get it?"
"No need, since it didn't affect the reincarnation of the underworld, and it didn't absorb human souls, don't worry about it. Just follow the rules of the prefecture. ”
Xu Feng also knew that the underworld didn't care about these spirits, except for those who devoured and imprisoned souls.
Turning his gaze, Xu Feng focused his attention on the crossroads where the accident had just occurred.
After the accident car was not towed away, everyone else left.
At this crossroads, there is still a figure of the road.
The figure was dressed in tattered clothes, and its body looked like it had been crushed and shriveled.
With every step, blood dripped from the tattered clothes to the ground.
The blood fell to the ground, did not disperse, did not dry up, and had gradually covered the entire crossroads.
It's just that this black blood will not be seen by ordinary people, just like that shriveled and terrifying figure.
In addition to the shriveled and blood-dripping body, the figure showed a pale face, and its eyes were red and staring, and wherever it looked, it was full of hatred and anger,
The face is hideous and terrifying, and the hands are clawed.
Walking back and forth at the crossroads is like patrolling your own territory.
Seeing Xu Feng and Ah Meng, they also cast angry and resentful eyes,
It's just that Xu Feng and Ah Meng didn't get close, and he didn't come over, but every time he wandered in the direction of Xu Feng and Ah Meng, he stared at the two of them.
And at this time,
After the intersection is quiet,
There are also figures that suddenly appear from all sides of the intersection.
They were uniformly dressed in black, and most of them held jet-black chains in their hands.
The chains collided and rattled.
As soon as these figures appeared, they formed a dungeon standard blockade array,
This area of the intersection is cordoned off to prevent the vicious figure from escaping and affecting the surrounding people.
These black-dressed, chain-holders, are the shadows of the underworld.
The leader is a horse face.
Seeing that the blockade was formed, the horse face walked forward, and only yawned before speaking,
"Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and it is not that the time has not yet come for not retribution. Chen Anjia, your time has come. Don't resist, come with us! ”
After yawning, Ma Mian put down his hand, and instantly solemnized, and said sharply to the evil ghost with green fangs, sharp claws, and continuous dripping blood.
"Roaring ......"
It was as if the demon had completely lost his mind, and only hatred and disgust for his surroundings.
Seeing that the surrounding Yin cha surrounded him, he instantly roared angrily at the surrounding Yin Cha and the horse's face,
Then he threw himself at the horse.
"Looks like it's going to be another toss, brothers."
The horse face seems to have a headache,
"Let's do it."
took half a step back, and the yin people around him threw the chains in their hands directly,
Heavy chains were thrown, and they immediately wrapped themselves around the demon's body.
"Roaring ......"
The demon roared again, and more blood dripped from its body,
And the blood soaked out of the cracks in the chains, and soaked into the chains that were wrapped around him.
And the chains burned with blood, as if they had been corroded, and in an instant they became pitted.
"Made...... It's hard! Don't resist! If you resist stubbornly, you will suffer even more if you go down! ”
Seeing this, Ma Mian attacked him.
The other ghosts, except for those who threw out the chains to restrain the evil spirits, also besieged the past.
"Roaring ......"
The demon's eyes were red, and blood and tears were dripping from his eyes, and blood was dripping from his hideous face.
The horse struck a blow to the face, and the evil spirit seemed to be hit hard,
But the demon didn't care about the attack on his body, and broke free from some of the corroded chains.
Even though he was still imprisoned by some chains, he still raised his hand and beat a yin out of the way.
"Damn, I haven't eaten, right, I don't want to take a vacation, it's so troublesome to take a ghost......"
Ma Mian cursed, did not stop his hand, and continued to fight towards the evil ghost.
The demon was beaten, and its body became more sunken, and its entire body seemed to be scattered a little.
But the evil ghost seems to know no pain, no life and death, just resentment, and does not stop the attack on his body at all.
It's just attacking every figure you can see around you.
"I don't know it hurts, do you...... Tie me up and drag him back for me......"
“…… Would you like to help? ”
"What nonsense? If you can make a shot, hurry up and give me a shot...... Well? ”
The horse's face was also a little hideous, and then reacted,
As soon as I turned around, I saw Xu Feng and Ah Meng.
"Huh? My lord...... Forgive my subordinates for being rude, I didn't notice the adult's law driving before. ”
"It's alright, do you need help?"
"Yes, yes...... It's best if adults can take over evil spirits. ”
Xu Feng looked at the evil ghost who was going crazy, purely because he was a little happy to see the hunt.
He has also mastered some supernatural spells, and he has also practiced a little.
I just wanted to try it.
And, he could feel it, this demon seemed to be just like that?
"Then I'll try ......"
Xu Feng thought about it and used a magical power.
Outside the magic circle surrounded by the shadows, he stretched out his hand towards the evil spirits in the array.
As the hand grows, it also grows larger.
When they reached the top of the demon's head, it was like a sky, obscuring everything.
This is also Xu Feng's mastery of a magical power.
The other gloom faded instantly.
This time, the demon seemed to know the fear, and even wanted to escape.
However, Xu Feng's outstretched hand pressed down, and the evil ghost couldn't escape, so he was caught by Xu Feng.
